Patient's question:
Now that the two-child policy has been adjusted, I want to have another baby. Our first child was born via cesarean section, and now I am 10 weeks pregnant with the second one. I would like to consult the doctor early about how many weeks it is recommended to have a cesarean section for a second pregnancy after a previous one. Can I have a natural birth like me, who has had a cesarean section for 6 years?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, women who have had a Cesarean section for their first child should also make a firm decision to have another Cesarean section for their second child. After a Cesarean section, the uterine cavity will have a wound. During the late stage of pregnancy, the uterus needs to withstand significant pressure, especially during a vaginal delivery. To prevent uterine rupture, it is generally recommended to make a firm decision to have a Cesarean section. Generally, a Cesarean section can be decided upon after 37 weeks.
